@jaromil as an OK Devuan user, I do wonder if more drastic steps are warranted, like #HyperbolaBSD . I value #Debian's solidity, which is diluted in Devuan though.
OpenStreetMap migrates to Debian 12: You may have seen this toot announcing OpenStreetMap's migration to Debian on their infrastructure.
🚀 After 18 years on Ubuntu, we've upgraded the @openstreetmap servers to Debian 12 (Bookworm). 🌍 openstreetmap.org is now faster using Ruby 3.1. Onward to new mapping adventures! Thank you to the team for the smooth transition. #OpenStreetMap #Debian 🤓
@Tutanota another #debian user here. Honestly for packaging the choices could be "Debian-based", Redhat based, Arch based, Suse based. Then of course other to consider solus, nixos, slack, etc
After some months in the making I just uploaded #Plasma 6 to #Debian unstable marking the first step for its inclusion into the next Debian release #Trixie.
Huge thanks go to @deltaone for being my better half in this adventure and to hefee/Sandro Knauß for all the help and work on improving our tooling.
To me, the test of whether my #linux laptop daily driver is actually useful is when I have to do some real world shit that I don't control. Today I had a virtual doctor appointment using some online video website that my doctor's office uses. Sure, the site whines that #Firefox on #Linux is not the "preferred browser", but it worked fine. Audio, video, all of it. My doctor had no idea and I had no excuses to make about struggling to connect. Score one more victory for the linux laptop. I've been daily driving #Debian since June or so and I have no regrets.
Leading to this proposal last week to require SSE2 instructions for 32-bit x86 Rust.
If that passes, Debian would not be able to package Rust on 32-bit x86, though the next stable release of Debian won't have a 32-bit kernel so arguably it would be no loss to say "all Rust is 64-bit on x86 from now."

Estoy empezando a pensar en cambiar de distribución Linux pq #Debian no se rompe y llevo mas de un año sin tocar el sistema salvo para hacer apt update & upgrade. Creo que tengo los primeros síntomas del #distrohopping 😭
Ich hab doch n Grund zum ranten über #Debian#Cinnamon gefunden: Es gibt keinen Dark Mode. Ich muss mir die Augen verkrebsen lassen wie so im letzten Jahrtausend, ey!
The room subject says, it's for trainees, trainspotters, trainsexuals, traingenders, and trainists, but I'ld say, it for everyone who likes or has to travel by #train or is interested in #railway.
Animate a instalar y autogestionar tu propio servidor de #chat federado.

@bugaevc yeah! It took me quite a while to figure out a nice way to use gcc-14 for the Hurd while keeping the default (currently at gcc-11), avoiding a world rebuild (and probably worse, many subsequent package breakages that would need to be addressed).
It also took some time to figure out why my cross-built executables kept segfaulting, in the end just some tags were missing from upstream (and I hadn't carefully looked at which versions #debian was using).
Also, even the 20240825 debian image does not boot with qemu-8.2.2 for me.
Very thankful for all the kind help that I got, again!
